VIDEO: Russian TU-95 Bear Bomber Shadowed by RAF & French Fighters (Interior View)

I harvested this from the FLIGHTAWARE.COM website's weekly digest email to which I subscribe.

Check it out....

I love the video effect that slows the counter-rotating props to SLOW MOTION much like seeing spoke-wheels appearing to be rolling backwards on a vehicle that's going forward.

The TU-95 is a very interesting bird.

Carry on.

Watched the same video this morning on fox news online. Awesome, but not so awesome.

Very cool! The contra rotating props are still amazing on a "modern" aircraft. That Typhoon pilot gave the Bear crew a "looksy" of what he's carrying....as a reminder.

AN-22 has the same powerplant/prop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RPOCd4g7Fs.

Cool video, the props look awesome. Flights like this are a common occurrence up by Alaska, they say activity has increased as of recently.

I've got a picture somewhere of one of our F4-Js shadowing a Bear back in the 70s. They would leave Vladivostok and fly out to watch the carrier as it left Hawaiian waters.

Fun times.

Nice video and I'm glad they shared it. I like the showing of the belly. Guess to let them know they were armed.

Yeah, that's my favorite part.

Yep but some of those russian pilots have some real determination. (or know your plane!)
